“The light always overcomes the darkness, because lies and hatred always yield to the power of truth and time,” Milei tells the crowd. “Thus, we light this torch in honor of all those who fought for the freedom and sovereignty of Israel. Israel has proven time and again that victory is not determined by the number of soldiers, but by the forces that come from the heavens.”
